Title: Bumblestook the Accidental Wizard
Post by: Nolanp01 on August 25, 2015, 06:47:50 PM
Hello everyone,

Nolan here from Ars Tali Games! My mother, Sheryl Diane McClure-Pitler has just finished her book, Bumblestook: The Accidental Wizard - which will be in-time a series. She is a great writer and loving mother and is largely my inspiration for writing; Words, oddly enough, cannot convey my thankfulness of having a mother this caring and loving.

Please join me in supporting my mother in her work - it's an absolutely fun book to read and I'm sure all of you will enjoy it. Share this with your friends as well, as we know here at Ars Tali, starting out is never easy!

Thanks everyone,

Nolan

Duly twitterated :) Best of luck to her, I'm vaguely thinking about getting a book published at some point later this year... presumably this one was just self-published to kindle?

Thanks! Yeah she self-published which is definitely a legitimate route these days - albeit difficult to handle due to social media constraints. The good news is that now more than ever before, you can self-publish with real success so if you have a good idea and generally a smart campaign, you'll do decently.

My friend in Ohio just released her book and it has done phenomenally well on Kickstarter as well as on Amazon - she did a VERY involved campaign however.

Good study (also a great book) of how to run a fantasy book campaign.
